I heard through a friend that the staff didn't treat people very well. that's all. You must live close to me b/c that hospital is only like 10 miles from my house. haha! I had my done at Scottsdale Healthcare Hospital.

Liza, I had my lap-band done at that hospital on Dec 3rd 2008 and I have to say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the entire staff. I started working with them over a year before my surgery was finally done and the staff was so nice they submitted the request to the insurance company 3 times before we got approval but they never stopped trying. My Surgeon is Dr. Schuster (I think that is how it is spelled) but he is the greatest and seems to be a very caring person. Do you have your lap band done there?

I cannot say enough good things about Banner Gateway Bariatric. Their entire staff is AWESOME.... I have been seeing them every few months since last March.

I "interviewed" 5 or 6 potential surgeons before deciding to go with Dr. Schuster. His support staff was a HUGE part of my decision... they are extremely attentive, and wonderful at following up.

Dr. Schuster himself is an awesome guy... very down-to-earth, straight-to-the-point, with a great sense of humor.

I definitely give their program two thumbs up!! :tongue:

These posts are rather old. I am wanting to know about the other surgeons in the group? What were your experience. Did they seem to listen to your concerns.

Also how are the groups?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
